It's time for a V8 SHOWDOWN!

It's Mat vs Yianni going head-to-head in two cars that have oh-so similar specs. Mat's in the Bullitt Mustang, which is packing a 5-litre V8 under the bonnet which will produce 460hp & 530Nm. As for the LC500? Well, it's also powered by a 5-litre V8, which can produce (you guessed it...) 460hp & 530Nm!

However, there are a couple of differences. Although the Mustang only has a 6-speed manual gearbox (compared to the LC500's 10-speed automatic), it weighs about 100kg less than the Lexus! But will that be enough to power it through to snatch the win?

There's only one way to find out... LET'S RACE!

    Hi Mat here: everyone wants Yianni and I to do a running race! But do you think would win?
  • @matthi2529
    They still exist: cars with beautiful stock sound and without stupid softlimiter. So rare in 2021 -.-
  • @de_stroyed
    The second Mat said "This Mustang has a manual gearbox and the Lexus has an automatic gearbox" is when I knew... the Lexus won.
  • @mesa620
    “So then, what exactly happened?”: Matt can’t drive a manual is what happened
  • Yanni just chillin on that comfy Lexus sofa watching Matt working hard in each competition xD
  • LEXUS LC500 at beginning had 477HP and after software updates currently has 464HP. I think that this engine has vast power and potential for eventually tuned cars.
  • @jordan4541
    Matt changes gears like he's on his driving test
  • @noelzuzic7205
    Okay that was the shittiest start ever i think by yianni, he was 2 seocnods late you should’ve restarted the race

    I’ve been blessed being an owner of different classes of Mercedes, BMW, Lexus and amongst all of them Lexus has been a more rewarding experience for me, Not only in terms of luxury and quality, but also great resale value

    Mat: Yianni from Yiannimize Subtitles: Annie from the animes
  • @VlOREL
    As a person who only had manual cars and drove them like a maniac... Mat's shifting was pure rubish.
  • @kamikazi5144
    Haha love the chemistry between you two, great video Matt
  • @kingmuchi565
    Thank you for making my day. You guys are a blessing.
  • Lexus LC500 is such an underrated car. My absolute dream car I wish to purchase before Lexus cancels the V8 ☹️
  • @nilslemmens9793
    Dog: “barks” Cat: “meows” Mat: “so what exactly happened?”
  • @zaalnibu
    I dunno how much Yanni makes from doing these but at this point he’s pretty much a carwow spokesperson, love seeing him and Matt together, their friendly banter makes these vids so much fun
